Another, way to verify the solution of a numerical method is to examine the convergence of the solution as the mesh is refined. Generally, the numerical solution should converge to the exact solution as the mesh is refined. In order to refine the mesh, first expand the mesh tab, Element SizeNumber of Divisions" to your preference, click on the solve button, , to recalculate the solution with the new mesh.
, in the tree outline. Next, click on "Edge Sizing", , such that it highlights blue. Now, change the number of divisions in the "Details of "Edge Sizing"" table. Remember, that each line segment of the plane frame structure will be divided in to the number of divisions that you specify. After you have changed the "...
